Book Signing with Matt Tavares: A Holiday Highlight at Christmas by the Sea

The Village Toy Funatic is thrilled to welcome New York Times best-selling author-illustrator Matt Tavares for a special book signing during Ogunquit’s Christmas by the Sea celebration. Join us on Saturday, December 14, from 12-2pm as we celebrate five magical years of Tavares’s beloved holiday classic, Dasher.

This festive event features the release of a beautifully designed gift set, perfect for the holiday season. The set includes two hardcover classics—Dasher: How a Brave Little Doe Changed Christmas Forever and Dasher Can’t Wait for Christmas—along with four enchanting press-out keepsakes: two paper ornaments and two standees.

Dasher tells the heartwarming story of an adventurous young reindeer whose life changes forever when she meets a man in a red suit with a horse-drawn sleigh. With themes of giving, kindness, and holiday magic, Tavares’s tales have become treasured favorites for families everywhere.

Can’t make it to the event? Don’t worry! Matt Tavares’s books are available for preorder, and we’re happy to ship them directly to you—a perfect holiday gift for the book lover in your life. Simply call the store and we will make the magic happen: 207-646-7728.
